The Great Escape
Dispensationalism has us running in fear. Fear is not of God but the deceiver. This is a sign for the need of a new move in God for this present hour. There is such an ever increasing amount of false doctrines in the religious media. I am not saying this to demonize this media, because it is full of well meaning God loving individuals. This current situation is caused by the spirit of anti-Christ. Paul called it the spirit of anti- Christ which was in the church in his day. Just as in his day, it is ever present sowing it's almost truth to deceive as many as possible. Anti-Christ is not a person but a spirit. It does not deceive by being 180 degrees opposed to the teachings of Christ but is a counterfeit. A counterfeit is something that gets as close to the truth as possible without its being the actual truth. The best counterfeit dollar is one than can not be detected. The Serpent showed this spirit when it put a question in the mind of Eve to doubt the true word of God and replaced it with some untruth. Speaking of money, an incorrect emphasis of the true principle of sowing and reaping is being applied to mostly natural gain and is therefore enmity toward God.
This dispensationalist thinking has also brought about the false teaching of the escapist rapture theory. This heretical theory is less than 200 years old and was perpetrated by a dream, not an in-depth scriptural enlightenment brought by God. This doctrine diverts the people from taking dominion over the earth which is the fulfillment of God’s command to Adam in the beginning. This is a trick of the deceiving serpent to add confusion and false hope. His purpose is to keep us from God’s purpose. The meek toward the word and authority of God will inherit the earth, not escape from it. Those same meek are to, by God’s authority and power, reclaim that which was lost to Adam. Again, we are to fulfill His command given not only to Adam; but to, Noah, Abraham, Moses and finally to the New Covenant Church. We are to be a Kingdom of priests with one King and High Priest, Jesus the Christ and reclaim the earth that was given to us as a possession, not just the land of Israel.
Also in deference to dispensationalism, the stone taken from the mountain without hands that crushed the feet of the image to powder is to grow into a great mountain to fill all the earth. The New Covenant Church that Jesus dwells in is that mountain. Those feet members, like all of the other parts of the image, dealt with the natural dominion by the gentiles over the Jews. Remember the Northern Kingdom had already vanished before the golden head of Nebuchadnezzar and the Southern Kingdom ended with the Jews saying in the mixed feet of clay and iron that we have no other king but Caesar.
They, as a kingdom, had not only been conquered by the image (Roman iron portion of the feet members), but as the clay, they accepted the image as their own and bowed to it. The kingdom of Judah (what was left of the Kingdom of Israel) was destroyed forever; therefore, there was no further need for the image. The image had been a prophetic time table for the Jew or Old Covenant. The New Covenant Church was never controlled by the image. Even in martyrdom, the Church, like the three Hebrew children, did not bow nor were they ever conquered by the image. Although the dream was given to a gentile, it was interpreted by a Jew and was about the Jews being under dominion rather than the Jews having dominion.
We as the Church of Jesus Christ and a new Kingdom of Priests, we must fulfill the command to Adam to take dominion now, not later. The Jew waited to late, we must not. The Kingdom is now. Let us walk in it and live in it. Remember, Jesus said that the Kingdom was now at hand. That was said 2,000 years ago and at hand means NOW. We have wasted 2,000 years thinking that it is to be in the future, when we could have been living it. It is not by sight but by the Spirit praise the Lord! Let us not waste another 2,000 years.
